Well, let's take the template debugging.
Movable Type, if it encounters a problem in your templates, will throw up its hands in shock and drop dead. With a somewhat helpful error message.
Minx doesn't have template errors. Any arbitrary string is a valid template. It might not do what you want, but it's not actually wrong.
So obviously it can't give you an error message when you screw up. But what it can do is this:
If Minx encounters something that looks like a template tag but is malformed or misplaced such that it cannot be validly processed at that point, it assumes that it is not actually a tag - and spits it out unchanged in the page.
What I did today was add some code so that when you type [comment,author] instead of [comment.author], rather than just appearing as
osted by: [comment,author] at 6:39 PM Tuesday, July 25th...you can request it to show up asPosted by: [comment,author] at 6:39 PM Tuesday, July 25th...or however you want it.
Likewise, for tags buried inside the HTML, I added an HTML viewer that shows the faulty tags highlighted to your taste.

I hope you don't mind my eternal 2¢, but here it is: When it thinks it's parsing a template tag but fails, it writes the "tag" as a link to a page which contains its best guess as to what the error is.

Well...
As far as Minx is concerned, anything in square brackets is potentially a tag, and Minx tries to interpret it. There are some cases where an error can be detected - a [posts] in a template without a [/posts], for example - but in most cases it just says "Okay, found something in square brackets. Is it in my tag database? ... Nope. Right, not a tag then. Spit it out."
We could certainly have something equivalent to "lint" for C, that finds common mistakes in code that would compile but wouldn't do what you wanted. But I don't know if I want to put that functionality into the standard template engine.

I didn't really mean to suggest that you add new error-catching functionality. Just instead of bolding the text, add a link that points to the reason the parser "gave up".
